Nissokone Day Camp
The best way to spend a summer day
Day Camp is a great introduction to the benefits and activities of a Camp Nissokone experience in an action-packed day. For boys and girls grades K-8 there is no better way to spend a week participating in safe, fun, quality programs in the Oscoda and Tawas area. With a staff to camper ratio of 1 to 6, our caring, responsible staff is trained in a variety of areas including child development, activity leadership, behavior management, sports, and swim instruction.
About Day Camp At Nissokone
In addition to the exciting activities and new friendships, breakfast and lunch are included daily. In the mornings campers travel with their counselors and age group to a variety of activities that change each day. Each group’s schedule is designed for their age. In the afternoon, we offer specialty options when campers can choose which activity they’d like to try. All of our activities are ‘Challenge by Choice;’ we create an environment to encourage campers to push themselves to try each activity, but we never make anyone try something they don’t want to.
Activity Periods:
Potential activities include canoeing, kayaking, zipline, archery, arts & crafts, swimming, tubing, climbing wall, GaGa Ball, nature hike, waterslide, and sports & games.
